Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving everyone!

As for me, I am thankful for my salvation, my lovely wife and family and my job which supports us well, I'm also thankful for my health and my true and honorable friends and brethren in the Order of the Marshal.  :)

Aye, we have much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for another wonderful year, which has brought me a marriage, most of all!

And.. Thank you for enriching my life, each and every one of you, my brothers in arms and chivalry.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  I am thankful for my wife and children, the opportunities and support that have come my way, and for all of you at Modern Chivalry for constantly reminding me that honor is a virtue that is far from dead.

I hope everyone enjoyed their fill yesterday...I have many things to be thankful for; my health, the well being of myself and my family, great kids, and an Order that I am very much a part of and especially thankful for as it has given me a new sense of purpose. 

It is one thing to pursue this on one's own, and quite another to be a part of a group of like-minded men...in a word, awesome.  Thanks for being here, all of you.

I will echo the sentiments of many of my Order brethren, I am especially thankful for the Order, and my chivalrous Brothers in arms, those of the order and those knights-errant.
I am also thankful for a supportive family, a wonderful lady, my good friends, and all my other blessings, known and unknown.

A few days late on this but I'm thankful for my fantastic parents who let me do "strange" things as a kid, like making wooden swords and using old carpet and duct tape for armor - and using dad's tools to do so. Yet they somehow kept me from getting into trouble too. It's a large part of why I am who I am today.

I'm also thankful for the friends I have made here, as it's great to find like-minded people and to not feel like the "only one" with these interests. I'm especially thankful that while we are separated by a bit of distance, for some of us it is a reasonable journey to make when we can.

Happy belated thanksgiving to all. :)
